Phase-change actuation has been revived for the era of untethered, electrically driven soft robots. Our team at the ...

so as water vapor increases, the density of air decreases. Temperature also changes the density of air. As air gets warmer it expands and becomes less dense, causing atmospheric pressure to fall.

A research team from the University of Coimbra has developed a soft phase change actuator for robots that uses the transition ...

Through subsurface imaging and lab experiments, Stanford scientists have shown how pressure buildup from water and vapor in the reservoir under Campi Flegrei can lead to earthquakes when the ...
